I do face pulls every week (strengthening the rear delt to help balance shoulder strength) after working my back. I also do a rotator cuff superset for 2X12 (always including external rotation) on a different day of the week.
I also carefully warm up shoulders before lifting, and stretch them after working out.
Edited to add: I don't bench press - and when I was doing it, I was doing it PL style. No dips, and I only do overhead presses in a limited ROM.

I do this everytime I workout my upper body - last - working great! My cuff impingement has just about gone .
all done one after the other - no rest - just once or twice trhoiugh using the same weight for every exercise
30-45degree incline forward raise - face down x10
L-lateral elbow on knee cuff raise x10
Subscap raise x10
30-45 Degree side raise - face down - thumbs slightly up.
then do some incline shrugs
see here for exercise pics

Just remeber to prevent imbalances you need to work both the horizontal plance - bench/rows, and vertical plane, overhead press, dips and chins
I did overhead presses yesterday - I felt so strong and explosibve - very easy, shoulfer felt rock solid and stable - all the cuff work and deep upright dips I have been doing are helping a bunch!
SHould be able to go back to heavy benching soon.

my rotator cuff inpingement has put me out of the game for about 7 weeks now 
so yeah strengthen your rotator cuff and also make sure you have good shoulder balance coz i made the mistake of neglecting it and look what has happened.
